Marcus Vick didn't do big brother Michael any favors by lashing out on Twitter during the Philadelphia Eagles' Monday night loss to the New Orleans Saints. But Marcus Vick wasn't necessarily wrong to question

Philadelphia placed right tackle Todd Herremans, who hurt an ankle Monday, on injured reserve Wednesday, meaning the Eagles are now playing without 80% of their projected offensive line.

All-pro left tackle Jason Peters is on the non-football injury list after rupturing his right Achilles' tendon twice in the offseason; underrated center Jason Kelce went down with a torn ACL in Week 2; and right guard Danny Watkins has missed the past two games with ankle issues of his own.

That leaves regular left guard Evan Mathis surrounded by the likes of King Dunlap, Demetress Bell, Dallas Reynolds and Dennis Kelly.

It's little wonder Vick was sacked seven times Monday. Herremans, who covers the blind side of the southpaw passer, has done a nice job since being shifted outside after starting his career as a guard.

Though the bad breaks continue to pile up, don't expect Vick and Andy Reid to get a mulligan in what's shaping up as an increasingly bleak make-or-break campaign for both men.
